Maidana fires back at Khan: You’re running scared of me
September 25th, 2011
By William Mackay: Earlier today, IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan asked on his twitter page why WBA light welterweight champion Marcos Maidana didn’t receive any criticism for fight against Petr Petrov last weekend while Khan took massive stick for facing Zab Judah recently.
As you can tell, Maidana have a lot of respect for Khan. The reason is because Khan wants no part of a rematch with Maidana, even though Khan took a terrible battering in his 12 round decision win over Maidana last December in a fight that was picked as the fight of the year. Usually when you get a fight as exciting at the Khan-Maidana fight was, both fighters want to get back in the ring and fight a rematch. Maidana wants to, but Khan doesn’t want to fight Maidana again. Instead, Khan has faced Paul McCloskey and Zab Judah since then. Neither of those fights were anywhere close to being as exciting as the Maidana vs. Khan fight, and they were never expected to be. No one thought McCloskey-Khan would be competitive, and it wasn’t. That was a fight that Khan wanted instead of Maidana. And Judah only had a knockout chance to win going into his fight with Khan, because Judah’s workrate has dropped off significantly in recent years.
The Khan-Maidana fight was controversial as it was, because of the referee Joe Cortez constantly breaking the action in the last three rounds when Maidana had Khan hurt. Before then, Cortez was pretty much staying out of the way of the two fighters. However, when Khan was hurt and taking punishment, Cortez picked the absolute worst times to break up the action when a hurt Khan was taking severe punishment by Maidana along the ropes. Had Cortez just let Maidana continue to work, it’s possible that Maidana would have knocked Khan out.

guys, comon, its this write has the same load of B$ all the times and then all the same readers, same comments.. comon, find something new.
watched khan last night on youtube .. mayweathers got no chance . ive never seen anyone move like that in my life , i was even getting turned on .. i didnt know khans first name was shaka though ?
Maidana had her chance pea head lost.
Khan is a pony
Maidana knows what he didn’t do in the khan fight.
He now knows what he needs to do to beat khan in a rematch.
Khan is just a show pony and now maidana has his number and is knocking at the door!
What makes me laugh is he dont wont another go with maidana but thinks he can dismantle mayweather.
Khan is in for a world of hurt soon and i will gladly pay to watch it.
tell maidana to shut up he lost he had his chance he lost. move on pea head.
I dont like Khan much but if he fought maidana again i’d pay to watch it.
Plus mayweather would end up schooling him on cheapshots
Very funny statements of Khan in The Sun. He wants Bradley to fight Maidana, but says Bradley “has somehow made his own balls disappear”. It makes me laugh.
queen khan … this is all that I got to say
Joe Cortez ruined the fight and basically changed the outcome of the fight the way he handled that. Khan is scared and why he fought those fighters is beyond me as they are both at this point nowhere near the top of boxing which apparently Khan is?
List of fighters that would kill Khan:
Alvarez
Martinez
Presscot
Ortiz
Maidana
Floyd
Manny
Senchenko
Bradley
real boxing fans want it…
twas a kind of a fight that needed a rematch… if we are on the era of the likes of ali, it will happen. boxer just fight by that time to be the best fighter. but now they just fight to earn money. the fighters of todays are too much greedy…
harry says you almost made the list of khan fights interesting when i saw maidanas name then i read the rest oh and u forgot prescott
hi buddies whats hapening crying like always you know what any doctor in the world can.t resolved your problem coz u r loser when u see khan beating everyone in the division.

no one said nothing obout that why was intentionally (mayweather vs ortiz) all crying ortiz did intentionally even he got knockedout when his hand was down. stay happy and burn ur blood
Khan is a piece of sh…….t
Khan barely won that fight but a win is a win. it’s not like he wanted Maidana in the 1st place. the whole “it’s the fight khan wanted” is a lie if you follow the sport.
that fight went to purse bid back in Jan or 2010 and was going to be in April until GBP bought Maidana out and then it was put off unitl decemeber.
long enough for the Ariza juice to work
Prescott, Maidana both beat the chit out of Khan & the girl won’t rematch any of them – he wants the money fight with Floyd — A fight Khan does’nt deserve nor has any chance of winning.
Excellent article pal
Cortez if you do request here is one drop dead!
your pathetic bro! khan flored the china/japan latin half breed in the first round, give over it lol lol lol lol your funny!
marcos “the one trick ponny” elchino maidana didnt impress anyone except mackay and khan can’t impress mackay, coz khan did his gf
wtf. petrov ranked at 141. thats one BIG shot opponent for you maidana and an easy win. and you have balls to call out mayweather after that. LOL
I would love to see this fight happen again, Maidana is one tough opponent. You can see why khan wouldn’t want to fight him again he took some big shots.
LMFAO @ cortez firm but paid off
if khan enhances his defense against maidana’s right hook then it is a won fight!i think the rematch is possible!
khan will prevail again because of freddie roach!
Petrov was ranked 141, so Khan had a point.
i heard that woman queen khan has been offering ali out of retirement to fight at lw another old man way way past his best for the trackstar to beat on lol he sure wasnt bringing it to maidana he ran ran and ran
cortez looked after that woman like it was his own daughter being beat up and not just someone he was paid to protect she will never get to fight mayweather and great fighters are made from rematches and trilogys maidana will rematch morales next year and i dont want to see queen malignaggi 2 or her picking weakest fights she can maidana was due to fight guerrero and that takes guts ask katsidis
if pacmans wife wasnt running scared it would be a huge money making fight and way better than who shes fighting next lamont peterson wow she needs to realise she isnt popular i think that woman should pay william mackay for giving her publicity cos no other boxing sites write anything about her lol
RUNNING SCARED? LAST TIME HE SAID THAT, HE GOT BEAT BY KHAN…. SAME WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, THIS TIME KHAN WON’T FIGHT… HE’LL BOX AND DECISION HIM OVER 12 ROUNDS… EASY WORK….. LOVE TO SEE THE REMATCH…. BUT PREFER TO SEE KHAN TAKE ON KELL BROOK AT 147 IN UK, THEN MAYWEATHER.
If Maidana wants a rematch he needs to stop picking easy fights against over the hill fighters such as Morales or nobodies like Petrov…
Now THIS is a rematch I’d be glad to see.
Morales is now a world champion. FYI, He wasnt schooled it was a solid fight which Maidana won.
If thats what you call an easy fight for Khan id hate to see him in a tough fight!
The guy was out on his feet at times.
It was fight of the year for a reason and needs to happen again.
Learn about boxing before commenting please.
Khan only fought Maidana because he HAD too or lose his belt.
Now he does not have to fight him dont hold your breath for him too.
your pathetic you make excuses for every single fighter but criticize khan at every single chance.whatever it is that bothers you so much i hope over time it gets worse for you.
